Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 3/30 – 4/5

Weekly Rewind 4 5

Another great week of Sneaker News is upon us, so let’s go! Starting off, the next rounds in our Foamposite Madness Tournament went on, with all four #1 seeds advancing to the finish. Several Air Jordan Retro updates were made, with a nice detailed look at the Air Jordan VIII “Laney” for Kids, while the Air Yeezy 2 was another big topic with that sick all-red sample. LeBron releases dates were huge, with the Hazelnut and Denim joints dropping this month, while some new Elite KD Vs turned heads as well. The Barkley Posite Max continues to be a sizzling headline as we saw more detailed images of upcoming colorways, while Nike SB enjoyed one of the most eventful weeks in a while with the 2013 Previews and our interviews with Eric Koston and designer Shawn Carboy.

In the lifestyle side of things, the Air Force 1 Downtown is hooking up with Liberty of London, New Balance’s brogue effort was enticing to say the least, Vans is dipping into the Galaxy, and Asics is messing around with graphic prints. Reebok’s bringing back the Frank Thomas line now that baseball is back, while adidas is hitting us with a Retro release with a certain Lakers star’s name attached to it. Finally, another strong selection of custom sneakers got our attentino, like Mache’s KD V”Surf Style” and Jparker’s rendition of Easter LeBrons. All of Sneaker News Weekly Rewind is below so get caught up!
